National Association of Residential Property Managers Northwest Conference May 2009

I just got home from Portland, OR where I was the keynote speaker for the conference held May 13th-16th at the Marriot downtown on the waterfront.  

It was a attended by over 120 property managers from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada.  The conference included a vendor show, designation classes, and speakers on various property management related subjects.

My talk covered the five fundamentals every property manager should employ to be a success.  These include Rental Pricing, Marketing, Organization, Flexibilty, and Goal Setting.  Executed properly, these five elements will make any property manager better at their job which will help them better serve their clients.

One thing true NARPM members subscribe to is not competing against one another.  There is plenty of business for all of us and it does not serve any useful purpose to knock each other's service.  By openly sharing we all are able to improve and therefore better serve our clients.
